Reading up on Wyvern

Steve Yegge describes his AI software factory's fuel crisis, oscillation problems, and the seat abstraction as a way to build trust and cut token costs.

Steve Yegge explains that AI orchestrator fuel costs stem from distrust, showing how seats cache trust to cut token usage and avoid over‑fencing.

AI’s near‑zero cost to generate code, tests, docs, and policies removes the friction that once forced teams to question each artefact’s necessity, leading to over‑engineered systems whose upkeep outweighs value.

Yegge demonstrates that a Beads‑driven orchestrator with rotating Claude Max accounts lets agents run nonstop loops, eliminating CI/CD and human code review for his Wyvern MMO.
